Backup Solitions for OSX

Babsi — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 09:49:40 +0000

Everyone generally agrees that having some form of backup solution in place is very important.Computers are far more reliable now than ever, but they still fail from time-to-time. Many people consider Time Machine to be the backup solution for the Mac, but you’d be surprised how many others are available.

Carbon Copy Cloner

Clone, synchronize, backup. Schedule and forget it. Try it ’til you trust it.
The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling — you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer.

iBackup

iBackup is a simple to use backup/restore utility for scheduled backups of files, folders, applications and your system preferences like the dock, deskop picture, time settings, firewall, bluetooth and system applications like AddressBook, Mail, Stickies, iChat, iTunes and more. You can edit these preferences settings and add your own.

SilverKeeper

SilverKeeper is a freeware application from LaCie that automates backups to external storage devices like hard drives, and other removable storage devices that have IDE, ATA/ATAPI, SCSI, USB, or FireWire interfaces. Almost any read/write device that can mount a writeable volume on the Macintosh Desktop can be used with SilverKeeper.

PsyncX

This application, based on the command-line utility psync, is designed to allow novice computer users to backup either one part of their hard drive or the entire hard drive to another computer. In addition, it allows users to schedule backups.

Last Saturday the ADB-Team met up to visit the Photo Adventure exhibition.
